A/N: Okay I know, I'm horrible with updates, I apologize. I keep saying I'm going to update, then I never do. So I'm going to stop making promises I can't keep, and just try to update when I can. Well I am home sick today, so you all got lucky! Also, I have picked out my top 10 favorite names, 5 girls, and 5 boys. I'm going to put them at the bottom of this chapter, and I want you all to vote for your favorite (or favorites, if you'd like) and whichever two names gets the most, those will be the names. So I'm leaving the baby names (and I guess the genders too) up to you guys. Cause if the top two are two boys, then it'll be two boys. And same for if it's two girls or if it's a boy and a girl. Well, we will see I guess! I'm very excited for this! Okay well I'll stop talking now. So enjoy this chapter, and remember to review and vote!

Chapter 13

:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:

When I woke up the next morning, Joel was still there, sound asleep next to me. I smiled when I saw his adorable face. He looked so peaceful when he slept. I didn't mean to wake him, but apparently me moving around had woken him up.

"Good morning." He said sleepily when he saw that I was awake.

"Good morning, Joel." I said. "Do you know what time it is?"

He rolled over to grab his cell phone and check the time. "9:12" He said while yawning.

I nodded, and started to lie back down. But then it hit me. "Fuck!" I said out loud. "Isn't today Wednesday?"

Joel thought about it for a moment, before saying. "Crap you're right. We're late for school."

We quickly got out of bed (me, with a little difficulty, of course), and started getting ready for school. "I wonder why my parents or Landon didn't wake us up..." I said as I started rushing around, grabbing random clothes. Joel just shrugged in response. We were rushing because we were already late, and poor Joel had to borrow some of Landon's clothes because he didn't have any of his own. After we were finally ready, he drove us both to school.

We got there right before fourth period, so everyone was walking to his or her next class, and they saw Joel and me walk in together, holding hands. It was sad, really, people didn't even try to hide the fact that they were looking at us. They were just openly staring at us as we walked down the hallway to our next class (which was French, which we had together). It was obvious that no one had heard what had happened yet, with Logan and everything, but I knew that by lunch somehow everyone would know.

And I was right. When I got to lunch sixth period, already about five people had come up to me, either telling me they were so sorry and they thought Logan was a jack ass, or that I was a slut. It was kind of funny really, but in my hormonal state, I was a mess by lunch. I was so glad to get the the table and see Landon, Kirby and Joel sitting there with our other friends, with no Logan in sight.

I was in no mood to talk about it really. And luckily everyone saw that, and didn't say anything to me as I sat down between Joel and Kirby. And I noticed that Landon was sitting next to Kirby and they were holding hands. This cheered me up slightly.

"So you guys finally got your asses out of bed and to school, huh?" Landon said to Joel and me.

I rolled my eyes, and Joel just chuckled. He said, "Yeah. But why didn't you guys wake us up?"

"Because we all just agreed that you both needed your sleep after everything that's happened." Kirby said.

"Wait, you were there this morning, Kirby?" I asked. She blushed and looked down slightly. "You stayed overnight?"

"Yeah. And I know what you're thinking, but I slept on the couch." She said, unable to look anyone in the eye.

"Sure..." I said, jokingly. She stuck her tongue out at me, and I just laughed out loud. "Very mature."

"Why, thank you." She said, smirking. I was glad at least one thing in my life was normal. My friendship with Kirby. I realized at that moment, that nothing could ever break us apart, and for that I was grateful.

I was thinking about all this when I felt Joel tense up. He had his hand in mine, and suddenly he had a death grip on me.

"Ow," I muttered, looking at him with confusion.

"Sorry," he muttered back at me, and loosened his grip on my hand. But I noticed he looked pissed. So I looked at where he was looking, and felt like I was going to throw up.

It was Logan, sitting with a group of girls, one of them being Corinne. But I knew if I got upset, then that would make Joel even more mad, and I did not want him doing something stupid. So I just turned back to Joel and smiled, lightly, trying to calm him down.

"It's okay." I said, trying to hide my true feelings. "I don't care. And I don't want you to care either."

That didn't seem to do anything to calm him. And now the rest of the table had noticed what Joel and I were talking about. And I saw Landon was pissed too. I looked at Kirby, silently telling her to do anything to keep Landon from doing something.

"Hey," Kirby said, grabbing Landon's face between her hands. She kissed him lightly, then said, "Let's just ignore it, okay? Just ignore him."

"Easier said then done," Landon muttered. But he just turned away from Logan and concentrated on Kirby, and everyone else the table.

However, about five minutes after everyone had calmed down and was successfully ignoring Logan, guess what the idiot decides to do? Yup, he comes over to our table.

At first no one notices. Until we hear someone say, "Hey, guys."

We all look up, and once again, Joel and Landon tense up. I knew this was not going to go over well.

No one says anything, so Logan speaks again. "Hey, Scarlett. Um, can we talk for a minute."

I had no time to get my reply out, because at that moment, Joel stood up. And immediately after that, Landon stood up. The formed sort of a barrier between Logan and myself, standing shoulder to shoulder, facing Logan. I could barely see him between then.

"Whoa, calm down, guys. I swear I just want to have a quick chat with her." Logan said, taking a step back. As much as I hate to admit it, I found some pleasure in the panicked look on Logan's face. I think he hadn't known what he was getting himself into until that moment.

But then, things got out of control. "You're not talking to her, so just go away, Logan." Joel spat out at him.

Logan, trying to fake confidence, smirked and said, "How about you let Scarlett speak for herself. Besides, how do you know she doesn't want to talk to me? After all, how many times did she come to me after all the shit you put her through?"

I saw Joel getting even more angry. So at this point, I stood up, and put my hand on his shoulder. "Don't listen to him..." I said to Joel. "And you," I said a little louder to Logan, "Just fuck off, okay? Everything we had, was all a lie and a big mistake. Now I don't have anything else to say to you, so please, just leave us alone."

"Scarlett, you know he can never take care of the your kids the way I could. You and him, that was the mistake. What we had was real. And don't try to deny it. You just think you want to be with him because he's the father..."

"Shut up, Logan!" I practically screamed at him. Then I said to Joel, "Nothing he says is true."

Logan said, "Look, we both know that you're meant to be with me. We're meant to be together, and raise those kids. How many guys care about some girl enough to put up with the fact that she's pregnant and the father is his best friend? Doesn't that say anything about me?"

"If you had really cared, you wouldn't have cheated on me!" I was starting to cry at this point.

"So that's the only reason you're with him? Because of a huge mistake I made? I told you I was sorry, we can talk about it and get past it."

"That is definitely not the reason I'm with Joel. I told you yesterday, I only found out about what you did because I went to your house to break up with you! So we were over before I even knew about Corinne! And I mean, sure it hurts, what you did to me, but that doesn't mean anything. I'm with Joel because I love him. More than anything. And I know he feels the same about me. So please, Logan, just leave us alone." I said. At this point, the whole cafeteria was silent, intently watching what was going on.

"But, Scarlett, what you don't understand is that I love you. More than anything." Now he had dropped the angry jerk attitude, and was being serious. He looked honestly upset. And I couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

"Look, even if I did have feelings for you, I couldn't forgive you for what you did. Now Joel and I are happy together. I love him and he loves me."

Now he was back to being an arrogant angry jerk. "He doesn't love you. The only reason he won't leave you is because he doesn't want everyone to see him as a loser father. And he just wants another easy fuck from you. Just except it, that's all you are to him."

At that point, I couldn't take it anymore. I took a step forward so I was standing directly in front of Logan, and I slapped him across the face. Hard. As hard as I could.

There was a collective gasp throughout the room. Everyone was shocked, but no one more shocked than I was. I took a step back, and just stared at Logan, waiting for his reaction.

"You... you bitch!" He said, while holding his hand up to his red cheek.

And that was, apparently, the breaking point for Joel. Because at that moment, he jumped on Logan, and started punching him as hard as he could, anywhere he could reach. And Logan started fighting him back.

I vaguely saw Landon and his friend Corey try to pull the two apart, but at this point it was too much for me.

Then out of the blue, I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. I gasped out of pain, but no one noticed. I didn't know what it was, but I just knew I needed to sit. I reached behind me to find the table, and lowered myself into the seat. But the pain didn't go away.

The fight continued, and I just sat there in pain, not knowing what to do. Finally, Kirby looked at me. And she knew something was wrong almost immediately.

"Guys!" She screamed at Landon and Joel. At first the didn't listen. But then she said, "Something is wrong with Scarlett." That got their attention.

They all stopped fighting, and Joel and Landon came rushing to me. "What's wrong?"

I was panting at this point. "I-I don't know." I was scared out of my mind. "There's just this... pain, in my stomach."

Landon, Joel and Kirby looked at each other. "You don't think...?" Landon muttered to them, looking nauseous.

Joel looked just as nervous and scared as I felt. "But she's still got, like, two months, right?"

Kirby said, "Well, who knows? I mean, she is having twins, and she is sixteen... couldn't that cause-"

But I interrupted, "Could someone just get me to the damn hospital? Or to the nurse, even. I don't care! Just somewhere that isn't here with everyone watching me!"

Logan came over, looking nervous, but said quickly, "I just called an ambulance, and Corey went to get the nurse."

Joel looked at Logan for a second but then said, "Thanks."

I smiled slightly through the grimace on my face and said, "Yeah, thanks, Logan."

He looked at all of us and said, "Yeah, and I'm sorry. For everything, really."

I just nodded. "Thank you." I wasn't about to say it was okay, because it wasn't, but I did appreciate what he said, after everything.

:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:

So the ambulance came, and they got me to the hospital. I was lying in the room (which I didn't like. It was all white and it smelled like... well like a hospital, and I don't like hospitals.) with everyone, Joel, Landon, Kirby, and my parents, who had been called and had gotten here as soon as they could. We were waiting for my doctor to come in and tell me what was wrong. The pain had gone away, so I felt much better.

Dr. Medina came in, after what felt like forever. "Hello, it's good to see you again, Scarlett."

I just smiled, politely. I was kind of nervous. "Well, what was that?"

"Well, luckily it wasn't premature labor. Just a cramp which is perfectly normal, although I bet it hurt a bit. So, we've checked everything else, and it all seems fine. However, I'm going to have to put you on bed rest for the rest of your pregnancy."

"Wait," I said, "So I can't get up? Like, ever?"

"Unfortunately yes. But don't worry, this doesn't mean anything bad, just a precaution. Especially since you are only sixteen, and you're having twins. It'll just help make extra sure you, and your babies are completely healthy." She said.

I nodded. "Okay, thank you." She left the room. "Great..." I said to everyone, "Now what about school?"

"That's not the most important thing now." My mom said. "You have to worry about you and your children's health for now."

"We can get you tutors, so you can keep up with everything, okay?" My dad said.

I nodded. "I guess it's what I have to do."

"Well, it could have been a lot worse." Joel said, taking my hand in his. "At least everything is okay."

I smiled at him. "You're right, of course."

After a few more hours and a couple of extra, routine tests, I was able to go home. Everyone helped me get into bed, where, I realized, I would be spending all of my time for a while. I didn't really like the idea of being on bed rest and having tutors and all that, but I guess it's what I have to do. We decided that Joel would be staying at our house for a while, to be with me as much as possible. Of course, he would be sleeping in Landon's room, but still, I liked the idea of him being near me as much as he could. I was scared about what was to come, but I knew that if I had Joel with me, everything would be okay.
